Route description
You can find the route on the map on this page. We offer detailed directions as well:
- Exit the train station through the south side and turn right to follow the Via Tre Case to the lake. You'll walk through a tunnel under the motorway just before arriving at Lake Maggiore.
- Once at the lake, turn right and follow the path along the lake all the way to Locarno.
- In Locarno, be sure to take the path nearest to the lake rather than the street (see the map).
- Turn right into Viale Giuseppe Cattori to walk slightly uphill to the train station.
